Molly Ringwald: Pretty in Pink's "Duckie" Was Gay

"Duckie doesn't know he's gay. I think he loves Andie in the way that [my gay best friend] always loved me. That ending fell so flat — it bombed at all the screenings," Ringwald says in an interview with Out.com. "I didn't realize it then — I just knew that my character shouldn't end up with him, because we didn't have that sort of chemistry. If John [Hughes] was here now, and I could talk to him, I think that he would completely acknowledge that."
